A Lot of Garbage
I am quite happy for my thread to be closed down. The sooner the better.
It seems to be attracting a lot of garbage.
When the Australian Commonwealth Heads of Government Taskforce agreed with others that the Heads would be protected by military aircraft providing CAP over the venues we actually conducted a media conference at Maroochy airport conducted by the Chief of Air Staff and had two F/A18s conduct a fly past (the runways were too short for a landing) - fully armed: one slow and one fast. I was part of the media team and helped organise it.
The message to the community was clear - 'these are here to protect you so when you hear them at altitude over the next few days do not be worried. You can see them now - but you won't during the conference.'
None of this is secret - in fact the pictures of the flypast were available on the official website until it was archived by the Commonwealth Secretariat only a few months ago.
I thought I had raised a different issue from that being dbated here.
